Giving a Dam

A supplier of prepress systems for commercial printers, Esko-Graphics debuted its comprehensive Scope workflow environment for packaging at Graph Expo '04. In addressing specific packaging market segments such as tag and label, flexible packaging and corrugated, Scope workflow covers a range of functions, from job and product specification to graphic and structural design to preproduction to platemaking for printing and toolmaking for converting. Scope adds capabilities for project coordination, digital asset management, and distributed proofing and approval. "Our goal," says Stitzel, "is to enable supply chain partners to communicate globally, effectively, and in real time."
